The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Database of Long-Lived Symmetric Cryptographic Keys' (draft-ietf-karp-crypto-key-table-10.txt) as Proposed Standard This document is the product of the Keying and Authentication for Routing Protocols Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Stewart Bryant and Adrian Farrel. A URL of this Internet Draft is: http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-karp-crypto-key-table/ Technical Summary This document specifies the information contained in a conceptual database of long-lived cryptographic keys used by many different security protocols. The database is designed to support both manual and automated key management. Working Group Summary The need for this document is clearly indicated in order to meet the KARP charter. There was little controversy of note. Document Quality This document received substantial review from individuals participating in both the Security and Routing Areas, and it is expected to easily meet the requirements of routing protocols. Several routing protocol specifications have already begun to define the format of keys in harmony with this I-D. Personnel Brian Weis is the Document Shepherd. The Responsible Area Director is Stewart Bryant.
